Head-to-head statistics Rapid Wien - GAK
Rapid Wien Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the UEFA Europa Conference League tournament (home team - Rapid Wien, away team - Paide). The match concluded with a scoreline of 2:0.
Here's the game statistics (Rapid Wien vs Paide):
- ball possession: 65% vs 35%;
- corner kicks: 5 vs 1;

In the league, the hosts have two wins: a narrow one over Rheindorf Altach (1:0) and a comeback win over Ried (2:1). In the last match, the team went ahead early but conceded in the second half - a quick response goal helped them regain control. That reaction shows character and the ability to stay focused.
Rapid finished fifth in last season's regular championship and held that position in the championship group, which earned them a place in European competition. The team are now one step away from the main stage of the Conference League - the decisive matches against Hearts lie ahead. This has an effect on preparation: the manager may rest key players to approach the European games in the best possible shape.

Liebherr Grazer AK Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Bundesliga tournament (home team - Liebherr Grazer AK, away - Austria Lustenau). The match concluded with a scoreline of 2:1.
Here are the match stats (Liebherr Grazer AK vs Austria Lustenau):
- ball possession: 56% vs 44%;
- corner kicks: 5 vs 6;
- fouls: 12 vs 5;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
- shots on target: 6 vs 3.
GAK started with a heavy defeat to LASK (0:3), but recovered quickly. In the second round they beat Austria Lustenau at home (2:1), controlling the game and converting two chances. Away from home, though, the team looks weaker so far - no points on the road, and questions remain about their defensive play.
Last season GAK were in the danger zone: 11th place after the regular championship, fighting to stay up in the relegation group, seven points adrift of safety. In the summer the squad was not significantly strengthened, but the team is capable of grinding out results through character and discipline. In head-to-head meetings with Rapid they have managed to do exactly that before.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Rapid look confident, but a run of ten wins is not the main argument here, given that some of them came in friendly matches. In last season's head-to-head meetings, GAK were no makeweights: just one defeat, and they scored in 3 of those 4 matches. The hosts will most likely have the match against Hearts in the Conference League in the back of their minds, and that could affect their focus. The visitors, on the other hand, have nothing to worry about - they will come to Vienna without one eye on any other competition, which gives them a chance to score. But GAK themselves rarely leave the pitch without conceding - their defence makes mistakes regularly. We are backing both teams to score (yes). Predicted score: 2:1.
